David C. Anaya

David Anaya serves as the primary procurement lead for Mschq Norfolk under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical maritime logistics and vessel sustainment services. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy surface and auxiliary fleets, with a focus on deep-sea freight transportation, ship repair, and specialized marine equipment procurement. His role ensures timely delivery of essential services that enable continuous fleet deployment, aligning acquisitions with strategic naval readiness objectives and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Anaya handles complex, high-stakes contracts requiring technical precision and logistical coordination across global supply chains. Anaya maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including ExxonMobil Marine Limited, Vigor Marine LLC, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., Ontic Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc., and the Foreign Policy Research Institute. These partnerships reflect a mix of industrial shipyard capabilities, defense logistics expertise, and analytical support services. His contracting approach prioritizes performance reliability, technical compliance, and long-term vendor stability, often awarding repeat contracts to firms with proven track records in naval maritime operations. He engages with both large prime contractors and specialized niche providers to ensure comprehensive coverage of fleet support requirements. Anaya’s procurement portfolio exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 88.4% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of required services. While small business participation is limited to 11.6%, it is strategically targeted toward qualified firms capable of meeting stringent naval operational standards, with a focus on Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 rather than socioeconomically designated programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), which accounts for 91% of his activity, encompassing heavy-lift cargo, intermodal maritime logistics, and global vessel resupply. The remaining 9% involves deep-sea passenger transport services critical to crew rotations and specialized naval personnel movement. Anaya’s expertise centers on maritime transportation systems, naval supply chain resilience, and the integration of commercial shipping capabilities into defense operations.
